governments in Texas the effort ers have simply neglected to pay, tbe worid—the renowned royal Padaung
giraffe-neclc women from Burma, the
most sensational importation ever
achieved by even the greatest show on
earth. These astounding Oriental hu-
man oddities are not freaks; they are
proud members of a proud race, set
apart from the teeming hordes of Far
East Burma by their high station as
rulers and by the visual sign of that
exalted rank—their copper encircled
necks, stretched to unbelievable lengths
by rings superimposed constantly from
birth to maturity. Since the Singling
Bros, and Barnum & Bailey combined
circus recently began displaying them
—and. they appear in the main per-
formance—hundreds of thousands of
people will have gazed upon them in
awe before the gala golden jubilee tour
is ended.
Outstanding among the jubilee fea-
tures is the mighty spectacle, The Dur-
bar, gorgeous, dazzling, be-jeweled re-
production of India’s great coronation
ceremonial at Delhi, where thousands
of potentates with their royal ele-
phants and huge oriental retinues
parade for the pleasure of the newly
crowned ruler of Great Britian and
India their vast wealth as symbolized
by gem-stdded trappings on elephants
and horses, by their native forces and
lavishly garbed households. Over 2000
people and animals take part in The
Durbar, and its background is opu-
lent and bizarre with imported Hindu
temples tongas, carved gold cars and
royal howdahs. The Durbar is the
proud achievement of the Bingling
Bros, and Barnum & Bailey combined
circus on its golden jubilee tour, and
it heads a list of features newly as-
sembled that will compel the vast five-
ring, four-stage program to be re-
called with deep pleasure for a life-
time.
Among them is the Marcellus’ Flying
Ballet Plastique. from Paris; the great
Vabanque in his "leap of death; the
marvelous Con Colleano, returned from
his recent European triumphs, as the
tumbling, forward somersaulting star
of the tight wire; the incredible Al-
fredo Codona, world’s only triple mid-
air somersaulting star to a catch; the
Wallendas and Gretonas, dome-high
tight wire thrillers; the TJyenos, the
Yacopis, the Lanwills, the Bubios and
the Ben Hamids, leading unit of fifty
in the quadruple somersaulting acro-
batic displays; the great Bieffenaeh,
Waiters and Davenport bareback rid-
ing stars; Dorothy Herbert, sensation-
al equestrienne; Luicita Leers, aerial
gymnaste; A1 Powell, flying bowknot;
Antoinette, only mid-air girl start ac-
complishing a double-and-a-half som-
ersault to a catch; Hugo Zucchini, hu-
man projectile, in longer and more
terrific flights from the cannon’s
mouth; the Ilugony sisters, acrobatic
pinwheels; Maximo, stellar comic of
the slack wire, and scores of others
equally notable. One hundred of the
best known clowns will make merry
in the concourse of the world’s largest
tent.
The great combined cricus will ar-
rive on four long trains of 100 double-
length steel railroad cars, bringing
over 1(500 people, 50 elephants, 1,009
menagerie animals and 700 horses.

New York. — More American
cotton was moved into domestic
consumption and export during
August this year than in any oth-
er August in the history of the
cotton trade, it was reported by
the New York Cotton Exchange.
The movement aggregatde 1,-
129.000 bales in August, compar-
ed with only 884,000 last year and
660.000 two years ago. In only
one other year, that being the
World war year of 1917, has the
movement of American cotton in
August exceeded 1,000,000 bales.
Domestic consumption and ex-
ports both ran at an unusually
high rate last month, it was re-
ported. The domestic consump-
tion of 589,000 bales was larger
than in any other August except
one. The export total of 540,-
000 bales has never been equaled
in any previous August. Exports
usually run light in August, since
| the new crop movement only be-
gins during that month.

If the taxpayers themselves
will examine the delinquent tax
rolls in McGregor Independent
School District and see the
amounts of taxes delinquent, the
individuals who owe delinquent
taxes and the amounts which they
owe, a study of same will reveal
that a small percentage of the de-
linquent taxpayers owe the ma-
jor part of the taxes delinquent
and that in most instances indivi-
duals are able to pay. Is it fair
for you to pay your taxes and
then allow others equally able to
pay, not to pay? The School
Board says, “no” and has in-
structed me to collect said delin-
quent taxes, with penalties and
interest, if not paid on or before
September 25, 1933.
